sudden rage

Post Reply New Topic

I have never physically harmed anyone but sometimes things trigger me to the point that I become verbally hostile to people. I say things that I would normally never under any conditions say to anyone. I can get ver belligerant and abusive. Is this normal for aspie people? Does anyone else have these issues?

In which situations ?
When I'm starting to be in sensory overload I start screaming at everyone and I become very rude.

Yep, it's fairly typical from what I understand. I myself can get very easily keyed up and mouth off big time. Especially when I was younger.

Yes, the frustration can become overwhelming. And it's physically and mentally exhausting.

Maybe look at what triggers your outbursts, note them down if you need to. Then see if you can learn another way to deal with it, reduce or avoid whatever the cause is for you.

Guilty It happens if I don't realize how agitated I am or can't remove myself from the situation. I don't think what I say is as out of line as much as my delivery, really. But at that point you're going to get my unfiltered opinion like it or not.

Yes. I get that way when I get sensory overload or upset/mad about something. I do get physically violent though... I've been known to throw trunks down the hall etc. I also can get violent with words too, though.

While I never get physical if you want to see the definition of 'intimidation' you should see me when I have an outburst. I'm usually quiet and introverted but if you get me really upset WATCH OUT!!

Exactly. This!

I've been wondering if this has anything to do with AS at all, and apparently it does. In fact it's happened to me today and yesterday, and I was going to post on here about it!

I spoke to my boyfriend about not going crazy when I see his brother next after something had happened, and then when his dad called regarding his brother, I just went crazy on the phone and yeah, the filter just went out of the window, so to speak... Today too, but to his mum.

I have rages, they come and go very quickly but I have smashed many things in my house, punched holes in doors etc...
I am better with it now as I can remove myself from the triggers and of course I know I'm an Aspie !
